Jesse Ventura and feather boas...Whoops I might get sued

Dear Jesse Ventura,

Jesse Ventura has held many titles over the years. He’s a veteran
who served as a member of the Navy Underwater Demolition Team (UDT). He left
the military life to pursue a career in the professional wrestling field where
he picked up the title “The Body” which he is still identified with today. From
there he moved into the acting world with unforgettable parts starring
alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger in the “Predator” and Sylvester Stallone in
“Demolition Man”. After failing to win an Oscar, politics was obviously the
likely next step in his career path. From small town mayor he ran a grass roots
campaign and won the Governorship of Minnesota 1998. Once out of office, “The
Body” did what most political figures do, he turned to a lucrative career in television
with a reality series, numerous news spots and political commentary to his
credit. You would think that he would ride off into the sunset and enjoy life
in his later years….WRONG!!! This is the so called “Body” and he felt that he
needed to add something more to his long and poignant career……D-BAG. Yesterday he
received $1.8 million dollars from the estate of the now deceased former Navy
SEAL, American hero and best-selling author Chris Kyle to settle a defamation
lawsuit concerning an excerpt from his book “American Sniper”. In the book,
Chris Kyle describes a fight that he got into with someone famous who was bad
mouthing SEALS and the military in general. Although “The Body” was never
mentioned by name, Kyle did state in later interviews that it was in fact the
man who use to sport a feather boa as a fashion accessory. Being that “The Body”
has run out of conspiracies to chase the next viable option to make a buck was
to go after an American hero who has done well. He filed a lawsuit against Kyle
and the accusations in the book to the tune of $28 million dollars. That “Body”
is a stand-up guy. Chris Kyle donated his time to helping soldiers with post-traumatic
stress disorder. It is because of this that he lost his life at such a young
age when a fellow veteran that he was helping turned a gun on him and took his
life. So you would think that with the tragedy that struck the Kyle family that
“The Body” would drop the lawsuit and move on…..WRONG!!! He pressed on until he
was eventually paid the aforementioned amount. “Body”, you gained nothing by
winning this lawsuit other than holding the current title of “World’s biggest
D-Bag” which is not an easy thing to do with the Bieb’s everyday antics. If you
want to truly protect your image as you’ve claimed in numerous interview since
the verdict, give the money back to Chris Kyle’s widow and her children and if
you can’t bring yourself to choosing “Plan A” of doing the right thing move on
to “Plan B” and donate it all back to a fund that helps wounded soldiers and their
families. Take a page from your wrestling days and be the “good guy” instead of
the “heal” and don’t worry you can still sport that pink boa, no judging here….

PS. Happy Hump Day peeps on this last Wednesday in July,
hope it’s been amazing for you and remember….The real power of a man is defined
by the size of the smile of the woman sitting next to him.

Life according to me:

Farming includes lots of long hours and hard work. Many hours on the tractor and in the field also gives you lots of time to figure out the world's problems at the same time you are trying to feed it, I guess multi-tasking is one of our greatest strengths. From politics to sports to music to why did insert actor or actress wear that to the Oscar's please enjoy and feedback is not only welcome it is necessary.......Thank you!
